Photoshop 2020 crashing when changing object color with color overlay layer effect

MacOS 10.14.6

I can make this happen at will. Any document. After trashing prefs too.

So, thanks adobe, again, for another buggy release.

Back to cc2019.

I'm now having pretty much the exact same issue - any time I add a Colour Overlay, it crashes - Adobe Photoshop 2020 v. 21.2.0, using on Lenovo PC not Apple.

Hi, try updating to 21.2.1, as it fixes a crash related to layer effects: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/fixed-issues.html#photoshop-desktop-fixed-issues

I can't seem to reproduce with photoshop cc 2020 (21.0) on macOS Catalina 10.15.1

 

Can you give us the steps that produce the crash?

Yup. Easy!

Create a new document.

Draw a marquee.

Fill with any color.

Create a layer style.

Select color overlay.

Pick any color.

Click okay.

Then Okay.

Beachball.......

Its a Problem with the Color Picker Tool. Change Color Picker from Adobe to Apple and it works.

Just made it happen on another Mac running High Sierra 10.13.6.

So it seems computer and OS independent.

Photoshop is thus unusable at this stage.
